International Conference on Computer and Information Technology (ICCIT) conference series have been providing a platform for researchers and industry practitioners to share complex problems and their solutions, and to shape new trends in Computer and Information Technology (CIT). The conference provides fertile ground for cultivating multifaceted aspects of CIT and also helps the CIT professionals, scientists, engineers, educators, researchers and students from all over the world to meet and exchange their scientific ideas. The willingness of practitioners to collaborate can be influenced by the goals of ICCIT. The researchers can share their knowledge and research tools, their available resources, and that provides the opportunities to the practitioners to link and work together.
